{"title":"Office light bulbs","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a desk, start by checking the socket of your light fixture: if it is E27, a 7 W LED bulb in warm white around 3000 K is enough to light a work surface. Then check the free space inside the shade, meaning 10.5 cm in height and 6 cm in diameter for the bulb shown here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"quelle-ampoule\"\u003eWhich desk light bulbs should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light must fall on the work surface, never into your eyes. The desk light bulbs gathered here share the same base: an E27 socket, LED technology, 7 W and a warm white of 2700 to 3500 K. Before comparing, check three points in this order: the socket of the fixture, the free space inside the diffuser, the shade you want for the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesk light bulbs: which socket and which wattage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E27 socket is found on most table lamps, ceiling lights and pendants. Check it on the socket or on the old bulb: it is the ten-second check that avoids a return. Other standards exist, notably the small E14 sockets of bedside lamps or the G4 and G9 sockets of some fixtures. For a home workstation, 7 W in LED covers everyday use, provided the fixture is not at the other end of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesk lamp or desk fixture: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bulb is the light source, the fixture is what holds it and directs the beam. Changing the bulb changes the shade and the amount of light; changing the fixture changes the direction. If the beam falls badly, no bulb will fix the problem: the support has to be reconsidered.

A warm white around 3000 K at 7 W suits an everyday workstation, in a dry room. The position of the fixture matters as much as the bulb fitted in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWork desk fixture: where should the source be placed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the side, opposite the writing hand: on the left for a right-handed person. The edge of the shade sits roughly at eye level, so that the bulb stays hidden when seated. A source placed in line with the screen produces reflections and forces you to squint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesk lighting: 2700 K or 3500 K, what does it change?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2700 K leans golden, 3500 K stays warm but more neutral. In general, reading and writing are comfortable around 3000 K. Below 2700 K the room looks amber, beyond 4000 K a cooler white appears, useful in a workshop but dry in a living room. The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ampoules-3000k\"\u003e3000 K models\u003c\/a\u003e hold the middle ground and keep the choice open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"puissance\"\u003eWhat is the ideal wattage for a desk bulb?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 7 W LED bulb around 760 lumens covers a home workstation. Wattage alone says nothing: a strong bulb badly aimed hinders more than it helps. Look first for the right position, then the right amount of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7 W bulb: is it enough to work by?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for a desk, a table or a reading corner, if the fixture reaches work surface height. On a high pendant or a distant ceiling light, the same bulb will look weak: it is distance that eats the light, not wattage. In that case, bring the source closer instead of going up in watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesk light without a window: how to compensate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout natural light, the contrast between the work surface and the rest of the room becomes tiring. Light the walls too, with two sources rather than one very strong one: a diffusing ceiling light completed by a side lamp gives an even background. To go further, see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ampoules-led-1\"\u003elow-consumption LED bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e and their common formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"couleur\"\u003eWhich light colour for a desk or a living room?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the colour is a warm white of 2700 to 3500 K, a slightly golden shade, readable on a work surface and soft in a living room. It does not lean towards the blue of workshop lighting. The shade does not change from one room to another, only the use changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm white 3000 K: what atmosphere in a work room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3000 K gives a clear light without harshness, which does not yellow whites and does not blue faces. It is the temperature that holds up over a long session without tiring.

What changes is the height and the direction of the fixture: diffused in a living room, aimed at a desk.

The E27 socket at 7 W LED suits both, in IP20 since these are dry rooms where one sits for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChild's desk fixture: which bulb should you choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisible sources and reflections on notebooks as well as on the screen are avoided. A bulb aimed at the work surface is better than a powerful spotlight. The shade stays warm: a cool white keeps you awake longer and tires you late in the evening. The 10.5 cm height must be checked if the lamp has a small shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGaming desk fixture: what really matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver long sessions, the discomfort comes from reflections and contrast, not from a lack of power. Place the source beside the screen, at eye level or just below, and keep a lit background in the room.
